Hi Adam,

thanks for the input here :)

This was a follow-up on the onging discussion in
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-php-pear/2023-June/022316.html

Sorry for the noise. taffit did warn me about the severities when I was
already in the end of the process. Should I go ahead and re-set the
severity for those bugs?

By soon I meant whenever we are done working on the list of bugs I
filled. Maybe "soon" was just poor wording here, but still, it is not
setting a target in time but leaving this rather open.

I wonder if the processes you are describing here is documented
somewhere (severities, when to mass file bugs for transitions, and
transition timing expectations after those are filed) so I can avoid
generating any unnecessary noise in the future.
